RE: The tariff classification of polyester kitchen countertop
material from Saudi Arabia.
Dear Ms. Ervin:
In your letter dated February 27, 1995, on behalf of
Oakcraft, Inc., you requested a tariff classification ruling.
The kitchen countertop material consists of an unsaturated
polyester resin with an aluminum hydroxide filler, forming a
sheet. The countertop material measures 800 by 3600 by 13
millimeters. The sheets are not flexible.
The applicable subheading for the kitchen countertop sheets
will be 3920.63.2000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United
States (HTS), which provides for other plates, sheets, film, foil
and strip, of plastics, noncellular and not reinforced,
laminated, supported or similarly combined with other materials,
of unsaturated polyesters, other. The rate of duty will be 5.8
percent ad valorem.
This ruling is being issued under the provisions of Section
177 of the Customs Regulations (19 C.F.R. 177).
A copy of this ruling letter should be attached to the entry
documents filed at the time this merchandise is imported. If the
documents have been filed without a copy, this ruling should be
brought to the attention of the Customs officer handling the
transaction.
Sincerely,
Jean F. Maguire
